Bondi Evasive on Tom Homan and $50,000 Bribe

Attorney General Pam Bondi sidestepped a series of simple yes-or-no questions at a Senate judiciary hearing on Tuesday about border czar Tom Homan and the $50,000 in cash he allegedly accepted from undercover FBI agents in a paper Cava bag.

"There's a tape, right, with Mr. Homan. First of all, is there a tape that has audio and video of the transfer of the $50,000?" Senator Sheldon Whitehouse asked Bondi, referencing reports that such a recording indeed exists.

"You would have to talk to Director Patel about that," Bondi replied.

"No, I'm talking to you."

"I don't know the answer, Senator." ... Bondi continued to insist that she had no clue about the investigation, and that Director Patel "resolving" the case was enough for her.

"But it's not resolved. There's $50,000. Homan has it, or somebody has it," Whitehouse responded. "Do you have no interest in knowing where it is?"

Questions about what happened to the $50,000 in that paper bag certainly do need need some answering. Thus far, crickets. That said, those questions do almost seem like quaint artifacts from an almost forgotten, bygone era while Trump's scummy crew of grab bag opportunists is busy looting the entire country. Those questions are akin to the touching naivety of queries about why Trump is flop-sweating to bury the files on his "former" BFF pedo Jeffrey Epstein. Any bets on when Maxwell's pardon comes through?

Nothing but gaslighting, rabid ad hominem attacks and flat out lies.

Hohman's got that $50,000.

Bet he's in the Epstein files, too.

Pardoning Maxwell is such a tremendous political negative for Trump.

He will have to kill her.

Hohman's got that $50,000.

As with Father Ted, it's probably "just resting in my account."*

(* As in a Bob Menendez sort of account: stashed in a closet.)

Bondi is a defense criminal.

Her job is to defend her criminal boss and his organization.

If she answered truthfully to any of those questions, she'd be on Trump's hit list in a nano-second.

As it was, not answering either way saved her from a charge of lying to congress.
